It’s Good That Today is Just Another Day
It sure beats the alternative.
Life can be confusing. Moments of amazing, moments of awfulness. Good things and bad things are happening with little or no fanfare. It’s utterly unpredictable.
Today could be a holiday. Or it could be a weekend. Perhaps today is a day you’ve looked forward to with excitement, or today could be a day that you’ve long dreaded. Anything is possible.
No matter what your perspective is, no matter what day it is as you’re reading this, today is just another day. That’s a good thing.
Why? Because you’re here. Now, in this moment, at this time, you’re here. Today. When you are here today, the world of potential and possibilities is wide open. Even if you’re going through some things, having a hard time, or otherwise struggling, it’s good that today is just another day. Because the alternative sucks.
What is the alternative?
Death is the alternative
Every day that you are here is good. Why? Because you’re here. You’re alive.
There is nobody on the entire planet for whom every day is a good day. Nobody. All 8 billion individual people on Planet Earth have bad days. Every single person you know and don’t know experiences pain, uncertainty, joy, excitement, anticipation, anxiety, and every other emotion you can name to one degree or another.
Today, right now, no matter where you’ve come from, what you’re going through, or what you’re anticipating, is just another day. It’s another day where and when you’re here, experiencing life and all it has to offer.
Many people get caught up in the rote and routine society loves to press on us as “the norm”. This can cause one day to the next to feel like a challenge, a slog. Then you might start feeling like life itself is a challenge and a slog.
To be fair, it can be. That’s part and parcel of being a human being. Yet being here, alive, now, is the thing that makes just another day incredible. You’re living, not dead and gone. Death is the end, and inevitable. Just another day like today, you’re here, not dead, and that’s hugely positive.
Just another day means another day
Today might be good, bad, or a blend of both. But it’s a day, and you’re here, now, alive to experience it. What’s more, so long as you’re alive, there are things you can do to make your life how you desire it to be.
I know that’s not easy for everyone. Lots of people are ill, experience crippling trauma, and have numerous things making today challenging. Yet, here you are, alive. That means potential and possibilities are open to and for you.
That’s amazingly positive. Because that means that it might be just another day, yet that means it’s another day. Here you are, and you can make choices and decisions to alter and change your life experience.
The empowerment of this truth is immeasurable. That’s because your power is beyond what you can see, taste, touch, smell, hear, and sense. To claim this, all you need is active conscious awareness.
Mindfulness for the win
Active conscious awareness is mindfulness, here and now. Self-awareness of what you’re thinking, what and how you’re feeling, your intentions, if your approach is positive or negative, and the actions that come from that.
Being mindful is being self-aware. Today might be just another day, but that’s not a disempowering statement. It means you have a day that you’re here, alive, and open to numerous potential and possibilities.
I know this isn’t always easy to see. Lots of uncertainty is out there. But you have the power via mindfulness to direct it, control it, and move it how it best suits you. It sure beats the alternative – because while death is inevitable, every day you’re here is a day you can do things, make things, and/or change things for yourself for the better.
Even one percent better today is better overall. Consider this with whatever today presents you with.
Recognizing it’s good that today is just another day isn’t hard
It’s all about practicing mindfulness of your thoughts, feelings, intentions, and approach to direct your actions.
When you recognize and acknowledge that today being just another day means it’s more opportunity to see the potential and possibilities for new life experiences, you can make choices and decisions to work with that. Knowing that even if you’re facing lots of challenges, you’re alive and able to make choices and decisions today, you can use this as the superpower it is to better your life experience, even just a little bit, so long as are alive and here today.
This empowers you, and your empowerment can empower others around you.
Consciously choosing your approach to life towards positivity or negativity – from the vast cylinder that exists between them – shifts life in a way that opens more dialogue. With a broader dialogue, you can explore and share where you are between the extremes and how that impacts you here and now.
Choosing thoughts, feelings, actions, and intentions for yourself employs an approach and attitude of positivity for realizing amazing potential and possibilities for your life.
The better aware you are of yourself in the now, the more you can do to choose and decide how your life experiences will be. When that empowers you, it can spread to those around you to their empowerment.
